CH 37

Helian Chacha was dragged all the way into the Ministry of Punishment .

Stepping into the hall, she saw that there were already some big figures sitting inside . The others were strangers to her but the Empress Dowager who was sitting right in the middle was more than familiar to her .

"Kneel down!" The guardian kicked her all of sudden and forced her to kneel down .

Seeing that, the Empress Dowager seemed to be quite satisfied as she looked at her slowly, "Are you Lin Dagou?"

Helian Chacha didn't reply to her and remained silent .

The Empress Dowager didn't really care about her disrespect but just said calmly, "I saw you last time when you came to Cining Palace with His Majesty . So, we did meet once . "

"Once?" Helian Chacha said mockingly, "I guess we've met more than once . "

Hearing that, the Empress Dowager's face turned pale immediately and she held the arms of the chaise unconsciously, saying with her eyes half squinted, "You really have a bold heart and a sharp tongue . I've heard that His Majesty value you a lot and you could have become quite powerful in this palace . But you shouldn't have made a very wrong decision to play the shady trick . "

Helian Chacha replied as if she didn't care at all, "Whatever you say . I have only one thing to clarify, that is, I didn't kill Eunuch Fu!"

"I don't know if you killed him or not, but I think the Ministry of Punishment will help you tell the truth by using some effective methods . " Then, she said to the middle-aged man standing on the right of her, "Mr, Li, you are in charge of this now . "

The man bowed to her politely, "Yes, Your Highness . I will never let you down . "

The Empress Dowager nodded and raised up her hand slowly . A palace maid nearby went up to hold her immediately . She flicked the dirt which didn't really exist on her clothes after getting up, "Then do your business now . I'm too tired so I won't be here to bother you . "

"Yes, Your Highness . " Those people all bowed .

After the Empress Dowager had left, those officials suddenly changed their looks and stared at each other as if they wanted to talk .

But no one spoke up when seeing Helian Chacha . That official Li waved at the guardians standing at the gate of the hall and said, "Bring him into the jail and tie him up . I will come to you later . "

"Yes!"

Seeing that guardian was about to get her, Helian Chacha struggled for a second, "Let go of me, I know how to walk!"

Being pushed by the guardian, she was taken to a dark dungeon very soon .

It seemed that this dungeon only had one exit and there were candles on the walls of it . If it were not for the screams coming from below, Helian Chacha would have felt this place was indeed very romantic .

After walking for a while, Helian Chacha saw some devices for torturing prisoners there .

Moreover, most of those devices were stained with blood . Some of them were blunt, some were sharp, and some were with barbs or to stamp people . Each one was scarier than the other .

Were those people planning to torture her secretly?

It could be possible though . When they caught her, they tried to avoid taking the main road, and that was probably because they didn't want Ye Shengxuan to know about it . And maybe this time their task was to eliminate future troubles for the Empress Dowager .
